Aysle is a supplement published by West End Games in 1990 for the near-future alternate reality role-playing game Torg.
Contents
Torg is a multi-dimensional role-playing game in which trans-dimensional aliens have invaded Earth, and have divided it up into various alternate realities called "cosms". In essence, this means that the referee can set adventures in almost any genre and time by switching from cosm to cosm. Aysle is a 144-page sourcebook that defines a heroic fantasy world setting for Torg, a cosm that has been laid over the United Kingdom and Scandinavia by the alien House Daleron.Geography
The world of Aysle has the shape of a torus. The sun rises up and down through the central hole of the torus, meaning that the seas closest to the hole are boiling, while those at the edge of the torus are frozen. Both sides of the torus have continents and populations. Below the surface is where dwarves dwell.Magic
The basic magic system of the game was described in Torg. This book delves into the magic system in much more detail and also lists a large number of spells for advanced characters.In Aylse, all people have magical abilities, which are determined by the stars at their birth. Magic is at the heart of the economy, with the standard "coin" being a 1-hour conjuration spell.
